My hubby and I were in Rockport Mass. A vacation area and we had never been there. We were only married 3 years and I had never really been out of my home town. We were in a gift shop with our new baby and I saw a beautiful Irish Knit sweater. I fell in Love. The woman saw my delight and asked if I would like to purchase it? I said, Oh no we could never afford it. It was $10.00. She took it from me and left. She returned with it all wrapped up and said,"take it home and send me what you can when you can". I was scared so I took it saying thank you but had no idea how I could pay for it. She smiled and said you will. I know you will. I took it home and payed her money I saved with coupons and bottle returns. It took months But I did it., That was 43 years ago. About 25 years ago we took our children out there and went into the shop and mentioned it to the clerk figuring she was gone. Come to find out she did this quite often and never got burned and she was the owner and still was doing it . How wonderful. 43 years later I still have the sweater.
